 It comprises of three main buildings thus being the main club house for regular members, a VIP members area, and accommodations VIP members and each of these buildings is composed of three different structural systems. it has an underground parking lot and three levels above ground level.


the architects have used timber as their main material .they have showed the flexibility of the material and and also shown how natural materials such as timber and stone blend well together. what attracted me the most about this building is the wooden hexagon grid shell found in the main building.This Grid was inspired by thee Korean traditional summertime pillow(also known as bamboo wife).This feature doesn't only serve as an aesthetic feature but it also provides structural support by means of columns.This structure is said to be fire resistant. the structure is built in such a way that it allows skylight and ventilation through.
